Graduate Record Examination or the GRE , is a nation-wide test undergraduates take in order to get into graduate school in the United States . In some ways, it is similar to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (or SAT, both are administered by the Educational Testing Service ) but for a different level of education. In the past few years has become computer-based, unlike the SAT. The general test has sections for reading , writing , and math ; it previously had an Analytic section, much like logic puzzles . Subject tests typically have 100 multiple choice questions that must be answered in 60 minutes.
